Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris

On a surface level, it was certainly laugh out loud funny at points but underneath David Sedaris’ eye for a story it feels like the way he spins his observations in to anecdotes betrays something darker. This is certainly true of all the funniest people I know in real life and I’m keen to read more of his memoirs and build up a bigger picture.

Characteristically hilarious. One of my favorites of Sedaris’s collections, because there is so much heart and emotionality in some of these stories. Sedaris’s use of pathos is so successful, as it adds another dimension to his comedy. He balances the universality of his experiences with his distinctly unique point of view.

Sharp, witty, and at times irreverent. Although there are some offensive sections, he edits himself a little better than in past works. Overall, very funny.

I liked this book a lot. I’d like to read it again.
